CHICAGO — Well, that was unexpected.

Former President Donald Trump praised his predecessor Barack Obama and former first lady Michelle Obama Tuesday ahead of the pair’s speech at the convention.

“I think he’s a nice gentleman, but he was very weak on trade. If you take a look at what happened to our country trade-wise, it was a disaster,” Trump told CNN.

“I happen to like him. I respect him and I respect his wife.”

Trump had been the poster child for promoting the birtherism conspiracy theories against Obama and has occasionally lashed out against him.
